 (since C++11)

Class template std::chrono::duration represents a time interval.

It consists of a count of ticks of type Rep and a tick period, where the tick period is a compile-time rational constant representing the number of seconds from one tick to the next.

The only data stored in a duration is a tick count of type Rep. If Rep is floating point, then the duration can represent fractions of ticks. Period is included as part of the duration's type, and is only used when converting between different durations.

Helper types

Type Definition
std::chrono::nanoseconds duration</*signed integer type of at least 64 bits*/, std::nano>
std::chrono::microseconds duration</*signed integer type of at least 55 bits*/, std::micro>
std::chrono::milliseconds duration</*signed integer type of at least 45 bits*/, std::milli>
std::chrono::seconds duration</*signed integer type of at least 35 bits*/>
std::chrono::minutes duration</*signed integer type of at least 29 bits*/, std::ratio<60>>
std::chrono::hours duration</*signed integer type of at least 23 bits*/, std::ratio<3600>>
std::chrono::days (since C++20) duration</*signed integer type of at least 25 bits*/, std::ratio<86400>>
std::chrono::weeks (since C++20) duration</*signed integer type of at least 22 bits*/, std::ratio<604800>>
std::chrono::months (since C++20) duration</*signed integer type of at least 20 bits*/, std::ratio<2629746>>
std::chrono::years (since C++20) duration</*signed integer type of at least 17 bits*/, std::ratio<31556952>>

Note: each of the predefined duration types up to hours covers a range of at least ±292 years.

Each of the predefined duration types days, weeks, months and years covers a range of at least ±40000 years. years is equal to 365.2425 days (the average length of a Gregorian year). months is equal to 30.436875 days (exactly 1/12 of years).

(since C++20)

Helper classes

(C++11)
 specializes the std::common_type trait
(class template specialization) [edit]
indicates that a duration is convertible to duration with different tick period
(class template)
constructs zero, min, and max values of a tick count of given type
(class template)
(C++20)
 formatting support for duration
(class template specialization) [edit]

Literals

Defined in inline namespace std::literals::chrono_literals
(C++14)
 a std::chrono::duration literal representing hours
(function) [edit]
(C++14)
 a std::chrono::duration literal representing minutes
(function) [edit]
(C++14)
 a std::chrono::duration literal representing seconds
(function) [edit]
(C++14)
 a std::chrono::duration literal representing milliseconds
(function) [edit]
(C++14)
 a std::chrono::duration literal representing microseconds
(function) [edit]
(C++14)
 a std::chrono::duration literal representing nanoseconds
(function) [edit]

Note: the literal suffixes d and y do not refer to days and years but to day and year, respectively.

(since C++20)

Example

This example shows how to define several custom duration types and convert between types:

Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
 
constexpr auto year = 31556952ll; // seconds in average Gregorian year
 
int main()
{
    using shakes = std::chrono::duration<int, std::ratio<1, 100000000>>;
    using jiffies = std::chrono::duration<int, std::centi>;
    using microfortnights = std::chrono::duration<float, std::ratio<14*24*60*60, 1000000>>;
    using nanocenturies = std::chrono::duration<float, std::ratio<100*year, 1000000000>>;
 
    std::chrono::seconds sec(1);
 
    std::cout << "1 second is:\n";
 
    // integer scale conversion with no precision loss: no cast
    std::cout << std::chrono::microseconds(sec).count() << " microseconds\n"
              << shakes(sec).count() << " shakes\n"
              << jiffies(sec).count() << " jiffies\n";
 
    // integer scale conversion with precision loss: requires a cast
    std::cout << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::minutes>(sec).count()
              << " minutes\n";
 
    // floating-point scale conversion: no cast
    std::cout << microfortnights(sec).count() << " microfortnights\n"
              << nanocenturies(sec).count() << " nanocenturies\n";
}

Output: 

1 second is:
1000000 microseconds
100000000 shakes
100 jiffies
0 minutes
0.82672 microfortnights
0.316887 nanocenturies
